GKN toughned halfshafts

muddyweb:
Since you are building from scratch, get a set of Nissan or Toyota axles and shove under there..  by far the simplest option, and most likely the cheapest.

Gwyn is spot-on, there are plenty of CV variants and shaft length / spline combinations, and subsequently, stub axle lengths / hub widths.

If you stick with LR axles, then you'll need to be looking at GKN or Maxidrive shafts (nothing else is really up to the job IMHO) and an early front axle from a 90 or 110.  

You can fit stronger parts to your current axles, and fit something like the Maxidrive conversion to allow the AEU2522 CVs to be fitted... or you can fit Ashcroft CVs (although there still might be some issues with these)

Yep... he called a couple of times today...  glad I could help ;-)

unknownmanxman:
GKN also make CV's for landys that are stronger than AEU2522 but not as strong as ashcrofts CV's and are only £160 a pair

MIne is all still standard 10 spline Range Rover stuff with ARBs in both ends and I havn't bust 'owt yet, what do you guys do to your trucks?
